Certified, Christian & Caring

We are a Christian program and a ministry of Tanque Verde Lutheran Church (TVLC). We began our program in January 1979. The Preschool/Kindergarten School Board governs us. All members of the Board are also members of the Church. The Director, and Business Manager attend the meetings each month as well.

Since preschool is often the child’s first experience away from the security of the immediate family, our parents and teachers work closely together to make the transition as smooth as possible. Before school begins each child and parents, too, have the opportunity to have a school visit to meet their teachers. Then, the week before school starts, each class has an open house where parents and children meet their teachers once again and also their new classmates.

We follow the TUSD school schedule regarding vacation days. Our preschool children begin school toward the middle of August and we conclude the school year the second week of May. Kindergarten starts at the beginning of August and concludes the end of May.

Parents are encouraged to visit and observe the program at any time before enrolling or after their child is in the program. Parents are also invited to attend planned activities. Some of these are the Teddy Bear Picnics, Christmas Chapels, Dads’ Brunch, and Moments with Mom. Each fall we celebrate with a Fall Festival and we welcome spring with a Carnival! These are all school functions and everyone is invited to attend. Both activities are a fun time for everyone!

Throughout the year we have a variety of fund raisers to support our scholarship program. This is an excellent opportunity for our parents to participate in our school’s activities.

Preschool / Kindergarten School Board

A five to six member School Board governs the Preschool and Kindergarten. The members include a Chairperson, Secretary, and 3-4 At-Large Members. The Director, Business Manager, Council Liaison and Preschool/Kindergarten Staff Representative may attend the meetings. Its function is to discuss, advise, receive information, make recommendations and vote on major issues concerning the Preschool/Kindergarten program. The Director, Business Manager and Staff Representative do not have a vote in decision making. The School Board is accountable to the Tanque Verde Lutheran Church. The parents are invited to attend at any time or to bring their questions and concerns to the attention of the Director.
